Ὑμέναιος
Hymenaîos
Hymenaeus
Hymenaios; a personal name used in early Christian sources, referring specifically to an individual identified as an opponent of the apostolic teaching. In contextual use, the name designates this historical figure rather than the mythological sense. The name itself derives from Hellenistic Greek traditions, originally referencing the god associated with marriage ceremonies (Hymenaios), but in the New Testament, it is solely used as a proper noun for an individual, not with any mythological associations.
